Ajax - Async Javascript with XmlHttpRequest

Google Suggest and Google Maps are two examples of a new approach to web applications that we at Adaptive Path have been calling Ajax. The name is shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript XML, and it represents a fundamental shift in what’s possible on the Web.

Google's recent products like Gmail and Google Maps shows how rich application interface the JavaScript with XmlHttpRequest can provide to web developers. "Ajax" is a term to mean such technologies, short for "Asynchronous JavaScript with XmlHttpRequest".

Adaptive Path's Jesse, along with his wife Rebecca Blood is now staying in Japan, to give their talks about user experience and weblog universe in the upcoming DESIGN IT! conference.
